Heathrow School was founded in 1875 as Heathrow Elementary School on the north side of Bath Road.
The land for Heathrow School was donated by George Stevens Byng, 2nd Earl of Strafford. The school opened in 1877.
Heathrow School was enlarged in 1891 and soon after it was renamed ’Sipson and Heathrow School’ - more than half its pupils came from Sipson.
After the building of Heathrow Airport in 1944, the school was severely affected by aircraft noise from the North Runway.
Pupils from the Perry Oaks cottages travelled by taxi to avoid construction works for more than a year.
In 1962 the school lost its playing field because an airport access road was built. In 1966 it moved to Harmondsworth Lane in Sipson, and was renamed Heathrow School again.
